Because of a number of modifications not playing well together I need the following stock steel wheels.......15"x7" with 5lugs by 5 1/2" pattern and 3" offset. OR 15"x 6" with 5 lugs by 5 1/2" pattern and 3" offset. Do either one of these exist or will I have to go custom? Thanks, Matt
i went with Black Rock Dune series 941 17x8 rim with 5 on 4.5 bolt and zero offset. Their D series lists 15 x 7 with a neg. 1/4" offset. Black Rock Type D Series 942 : Black Rock

I don't think you really want 3" of offset. More likely 3" of backspace, which yields 1" of negative offset on a 7" rim, or 1/2" of negative offset on a 6" rim. No oem wheel will fit that spec, so aftermarket customs are your answer. Stu
I should have said backspace not offset. The current steel wheels I have now are 15"x7" with a 4" backspace. In another post I explained that I installed a three inch drop axle and a disc brake conversion at the same time. Now I have interference with the drop tie rod ends and the tire where it mounts to the wheel.
Only word of caution is to ensure they have the 5 1/2 pattern Center stampings in-house. Their Supplier doesn't do a 5 1/2 Production Run very often because there isn't much demand nowadays.
They only do the 3" BS in a 5" wide rim, the OP is looking for 6" or 7"
Just have to ask them they will make any steel wheel as long as they stock the center which they carry the 5 and 51/2 have comb centers.
They made mine and they were not listed in the catalog or on web.
I have a 3" drop axle and disc brake conversion with 15x6 wheels. Not sure of the backspace on them, but they clear the tie rod end drops by approximately 1/2 ".
